Did that game kill the mainline SC franchise?

It shouldn't have. It sold better than TTT2.

Namco did seem to be completely confused by the reaction though leading them to create Lost Swords as a 1 player only mess.

I think it took SFV to make them realize what had people upset.

i thought lost swords was just them trying out f2p, they tried the same with tekken revolution

 

[Pachimari]

Oh believe me I did

You should have ignored The Artisan a long time ago, I did. His posts are the most weird ones I've read in the 10+ years I've been here.

They have at least different rage arts, and they -are- listed separately by Namco. So 35 if you buy into that.

I'm just kinda not convinced until i see some evidence of actually different movelists, aha. =D

(Also one bear + palette swap is kinda enough for me. Too much perhaps. Don't like bears. Two whole characters, really?)

You really should count the bears as two characters since they have each their slot now, and variation of the move list. Eliza should seriously also be counted, I mean why not. She have her own move list.

Just saw the Eliza trailer, what's with all the sleeping?

She sleeps when she doesn't have enough blood. Also her tits grow proportionate to the amount of blood she consumes

 

[AlexFlame116]

I'm sorry what?

😳 As if I couldn't love Eliza more, now I have even more reasons to make her my main.

I didn't know vampires worked that way.

Top is low blood, Bottom is max blood

It was a special mechanic in Revolution.

There was no mechanic like that.

In Revolution it was an outfit you could unlock with bloodseals.

You needed 20k for the actual character, 70k for her bikini outfit and another 70k for the same outfit with enlarged breasts.

 

[GinoFelino]

I love what I've seen of Tekken 7 and it looks better every time, even the floors that break like cookies when people fall on them.

BUT.

BUT.

Why do the sound effects have to be so awful? Why does every punch and kick sound exactly the same? Why does it sound like an early PS1 sound effect? I can't unhear it.

Is this part of the charm for Tekken fans or universally abhorred? It must be the latter...right?

...I never thought about it but I'm kind of surprised there aren't more costumes like this for sale in games (with the appropriate audience).

 

[FallingEdge]

I'm all in on Rainmaker King.

 

[Acquiescence]

It's better they work this way than they do in Twilight.

It was in a way. The developer stated that they made Lost Swords single player due the SC fanbase being casual single player focused who liked create a soul though.

Given that Tekken R outlasted Lost Swords by a year, I'd say that assessment wasn't correct.

 

[Frida Kahlo]

Did that game kill the mainline SC franchise?

I wouldn't say it did but the character roster's changes weren't that popularly accepted.
People tend to critique the stasis in character ages on fighting games but all these new characters (which were "pseudo-reboots") with fighting styles of previous fan-favorites were felt like disrespect...

Yeah my mistake, it got it confused with the mechanic that heals her when she sleeps

• 36 characters

I'm happy with this roster. Just need Lei Wulong and a Chang in there.

i really just think it's because at this point tekken is the more popular fighting franchise and that's why it was more successful.

Amazing T7 interview with the planners, directors, designers and such. It's in Spanish though so you can use a translator if you can't read it.

No. Lost Swords was poorly designed as a F2P game as well. $60-90 for a new character?

Why is Kuma wearing whatever the hell that is?

 

[Sayad]

I'm sorry what?

Re-watch her trailer, they're a different size in almost every scene, you could say there're more expressions in her tits than in her face. ;p

 

[Hutchie]

Time to get ps plus... I will not rest until i become a true tekken god

 

[Creaking]

Why is Kuma wearing whatever the hell that is?

It's a Tekken Force uniform. As I understand it, he joined up when Heihachi got the Mishima Zaibatsu back.

Bears can be elite PMC soldiers too

 

[Rajang]

Why is Kuma wearing whatever the hell that is?

LOL, yeah its whack. Its his alternate costume, he's wearing Tekken Force armor.

 

[The Artisan]

does anybody know what the blood types mean in these games?

 

[Creaking]

For if a character needs a blood transfusion.

 

[Ryce]

In Japanese culture, blood types are associated with certain personality traits.

It's weird.

Where the fuck are Eddy and Christie?

There's no way they are underplayed. They should be shoo-ins.

Who knows. Meanwhile we got another brazilian rep (her backstory is also pretty similiar to Eddie's lol) and the ultimate sin happened

[Jaeger]

Eliza's movelist looks to be a healthy mix/homage to Iori and Akuma.

 

[Jimnymebob]

Is Yoshimitsu still dual wielding/using his T6 and TTT2 fighting style in this?

 

[Rajang]

They were very popular but a lot of people were salty when they had to face capo's online. They have been hated for a long time now by the more 'competitive players'. They see capo's as "cheap" characters that are hard to deal with in an online environment because of their evasive stances and moves.

Personally, I love Eddy and I really want to see him in the game. He is one of the more iconic fighting game charaters and Namco is stupid for not putting him in the game.

And Anna. It isn't Tekken without the Williams sisters trying to kill each other.

I got more of a Demitri from Darkstalkers vibe

 

[Pachimari]

If it was up to me, none of the Williams sisters would be in.

 

[Creaking]

Is Yoshimitsu still dual wielding/using his T6 and TTT2 fighting style in this?

Yeah, though I think he has a select few of his old moves back and one or two of the new ones gone (replaced by the old ones).

Why do you disown Tekken 4?

 

[Vazra]

Why do you disown Tekken 4?

Most people disown Tekken 4 TBH

 

[Lren]

Gonna have to add Akuma to my mainstays, Dragunov and Lars. I keep forgetting this is coming out on PC as well. Probably pick it up on both PC and PS4.

 

[Village]

Why do you disown Tekken 4?

A lot of folk don't like tekken 4.

The movement in that game is very, un tekken.

Not in a very long time. Even with the Tag 2 buffs.

Who are these competitive players complaining about 'cheap' 'online' for Chreddy? I guess you did put them in quotation marks, are you making fun of scrubs who think they're competitive lol.

It's basically the same thing as horoscopes in the west.

Oddly enough that reminds me of Bloody Roar 4 which tried to switch up the formula and its perhaps what killed that franchise. >.>
